On the afternoon of April 26, 2021, 34-year-old Paul Anthony Docks was standing beside his car outside a gas station on Redan Road in Stone Mountain, Georgia, around 2:30 p.m. A passing vehicle did a drive-by shooting; someone fired a handgun from the moving car and Docks was struck multiple times. Emergency crews took him to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

Investigators removed a black sedan from the scene as they worked the case. Nearly two months later, on June 16, 2021, DeKalb County authorities, with assistance from U.S. Marshals and the Atlanta Police Department, arrested 21-year-old Altavelius Rodriquze Wheeler in northeast Atlanta. The arrest warrant identified Wheeler as the person seen leaning out of a vehicle window and firing a handgun; he was charged with malice murder and held without bond. The motive and any relationship between Docks and Wheeler were reported as unclear at the time of the arrest.

If anyone was near South Hairston and Redan roads that afternoon or has information about the black sedan or the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
